[QUOTE]Originally posted by MarianLH: [QB] What I always want to see is more nonhuman names. The Federation supposedly contains dozens of member races, yet all ship names come from Earth. I think I vaguely remember hearing of a USS Surak (?), but that's the only exception I can think of. Ships are usually named after people (Tsiolkovsky, Bradbury), places (Jenolan, Kyushu), important events (Tian Nan Men, Lexington), or ideals/virtues (Reliant, Intrepid). So... Who was the first Tellarite astronaut? Who was the captain of the Vulcan ship that made First Contact with Earth? What do you call the eastern continent of Betazed? Do Andorians name their glaciers? What's the Caitian word for "Intrepid?" And so on. In some old movie-era suff I have from the 80s, there's a starship class named S'Harien, after the famous Vulcan swordsmith, and two cruisers with Denebian names: USS Raan and USS Sur Cha. I always rather liked little details like that; it makes the Federation seem more real. Marian [/QB][/QUOTE]
